Overall, bench trial went well and confidence was high, but then the judgment was contrary. It read like the judge did not like my client, so the conclusion did not follow logic or legal rational. Appeal reversed him. I still believe he could be a good judge, but perhaps got a little bias or misunderstanding on unique issues.

This judge did not understand basic real estate law. He kept on stating that holes in the wall are normal wear and tear, and that deposit funds may not be used to repair the holes created by the tenant. Holes are definitely damage. He thought that garbage and debris left on the property is normal. He also did not consider as damage the tenant painting a few parts of the wall with a different color. This is a terrible judge that should not be handling real estate matters.

A really decent judge. He tried to be even-handed and get the parties to work together cooperatively. He has a very industrious legal clerk, who generally nails the issues, which makes it generally a pleasure to be in his courtroom.

He acts very pious, but he is not to be trusted at all. He will schedule hearings knowing of attorney and party conflicts. He is not judge-like. He should not be on the bench. He is rude, very rude. He will not recuse himself and will hide major conflicts.
